7. Be an ordinary person, one of the human race.

This is actually on of my favorite maxims, because it is one with which I struggle. I think it is really easy as Christians to fall into an attitude of self-righteousness. We look at the world and individuals around us and think or even say, "I/We are not like that." We push our children to be MORE than ordinary. Who doesn't want to be extraordinary? But when I end up being humbled by my failures and sins, I end up having a lot less judgment and much more compassion for my neighbor - Christian or not.
